of what beauty they are, or how they profper there, I contefs I 
am yet to.learn, and I doubt Indian Plants like little better in France

Daffodili, if the fibres be either broken in taking up thofe large roots, 
or ipoiled by fo long a journey , the roots will undoubtedly perifh, 
end never comprehend in the ground or fpring at all, And thus 
much for the true Daffodils ; and now we thall pafs to the baftard 
kind, and fet down fome or the beft of them 5 beginning with the
